Be smart when using your phone on the road. The iLX-207 is compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. After connecting your smartphone via the charging cable and activating Bluetooth for Android Auto use, you get your music, driving directions, and phone calls – all controlled from the 7-inch touchscreen and heard through your vehicle’s speaker system, so you don’t have to look at or touch your phone and can keep it safely stored away.

The iLX-207 “Works with Apple CarPlay” and lets iPhone users make and receive calls, access text messages, play music, and get directions in a way that allows them to stay focused on the road. Apple CarPlay is accessed through the capacitive touch screen or the “Voice” hard button to activate Siri voice control and is compatible with iPhone 5 and later (iPhone must be connected via Apple lightning cable).

Android Auto is accessed through the capacitive touch screen or the “Voice” hard button with voice control.
